Breastfeeding Myth: Easier to Bottle Feed

Breastfeeding gives your baby its best start to life, but there are some myths out there that may detract women from breastfeeding. The Mommy-Go-Round is here to debunk some of those myths.

Myth: It is easier to bottle feed than to breastfeed.

Reality: Not true! Or, this should not be true. Breastfeeding is made difficult because women often do not receive the help they should to get started properly. A poor start can indeed make breastfeeding difficult, but a poor start can also be overcome. Breastfeeding is often more difficult at first, but this can be overcome with proper training and usually becomes easier later.
